The British Bulldogs were a professional wrestling tag team consisting of cousins Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid.

They competed throughout the 1980s in Britain, North America and Japan and have consistently ranked among the top tag teams in history.

Billington went to Canada first and made a revolutionary impact in Stampede with his effortlessly fluid technical wrestling style, and had a feud with his future brother-in-law, Bret Hart.

The British Bulldogs' first feud was with the Hart Foundation, whom they knew from their Stampede days, and thus they were able to produce a series of outstanding matches that helped to elevate both teams.

With "Captain" Lou Albano and Ozzy Osbourne in their corner, the duo won the WWF World Tag Team Championship.

She was central to their feud with The Islanders (Haku and Tama) who along with their manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan "dognapped" her.

The Bulldogs then feuded with The Rougeau Brothers (Jacques and Raymond), which included wrestling the first match at the inaugural SummerSlam event at Madison Square Garden which ended in a time limit (20 minute) draw.

[1][8] Billington claimed it was a dispute with WWF management over issuing of complimentary plane tickets that led to their leaving.

This led to Dynamite turning on Davey Boy and joining forces with Johnny forming The British Bruisers.

In September 1990, Smith abruptly withdrew the Bulldogs from AJPW's annual World's Strongest Tag Determination League by returning to the WWF, and fabricating to the All-Japan office that Billington had been in a serious car accident and couldn't compete.

The duo managed to capture the All Asia Tag Team Championship,[5] but the partnership was short-lived; the years of steroid abuse, working a high-impact style and cocaine usage caught up with Billington and he announced his retirement on December 6, 1991, although he did make an occasional comeback, wrestling his last match on 10 October 1996.

Both versions are highly sought after by collectors and prices can be well over hundreds of dollars in mint condition especially for Billington, as figures of him were not produced as much as Smith, who gained fame in both WWF and WCW after the Bulldogs' split while Billington wrestled primarily overseas, most notably in Japan and whose career was cut short due to injuries.
